My heart is saddened by the news of Cho Seung Hui (a 23 year old senior majoring in English) who shot 33 people execution style at Virginia Tech. I can't imagine what the school, parents, and those nearby must be feeling at this moment.

Today C. talked to a friend who works at a university and he said the mood was somber there as well. You realize how fragile life is and how fast people can go. On the news I saw that one of the professors that was shot had survived the Holocaust. Can you imagine surviving that and then just being killed for no reason by a student. If you are on Yahoo today they keep showing the killer's picture and it makes me sad to even look at it. I keep saying a prayer for the families grieving everytime I see it. Imagine being the parents of this poor boy who killed them all.

I will be curious to see if they can find a motive. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved.

Blessings,

S.
